Alvarado v. People

HOBBS, Justice.

We granted certiorari to review the court of appeals’ judgment in People v.

(2005).1 Defendant argues that this provision requires two acts for conviction: first, the act of impersonation; second, the act from which á defendant intends to receive a benefit. We disagree.
